Economy and Governance
Research in this area focuses on major economic trends, financial systems and the liberalization and integration in global trade. China’s rapid growth is transforming regional and global balances, and has a central role in the current economic crisis of Western powers. The United States’ Trans-Pacific Partnership project, China’s participation in the European economy, and the gambit of the emerging countries in international institutions are part of the key trends and events closely observed by Asia Centre.

The Regulation Programme and Economic GovernanceDuring France’s presidency of the G20 in 2011, this multi-year programme focused on analysing the situation and role of Asian powers in Financial and Economic Regulatory Institutions. In 2012, two themes were studied in depth: firstly, the American Transpacific Partnership (TPP), with the aim of providing strategy recommendations for the EU in the Asia-Pacific region, and secondly, the structuring of emerging countries in international negotiations and the position of each of these countries in relation to China and vice versa. In 2013, work focused on three key areas: the impact of Chinese energy and climate policies on international negotiations; mapping sustainable urban development in China; analysing relationships between the EU and its Asian partners, particularly Japan and India.

In a recent declaration, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the People’s Bank of China, announced his intention to reduce official intervention in the exchange rate of the yuan. This decision is part of a vast drive to internationalize the yuan, raising the Chinese currency to the highest ranks of international transactions. It’s with this aim in mind that China has signed currency exchange agreements and opened clearing houses designed to facilitate the financing and payment of the country’s commercial transactions. What are the motivations of the Chinese authorities behind this drive to establish the yuan as a global currency? What benefits do they hope to derive from it? What errors do the Chinese authorities run the risk of making if they move too quickly towards an openly-traded yuan? Will the yuan become a rival to the euro and the dollar?
